Call me an immature teenager, but i hate structure, routines, and suck at making commitments.
But… i think it’d be absoloutley lovely to change a few of the rules, and give the united states complete freedom, i know this won’t be happening anytime soon, and some people say it’d cause "chaos" & what not, and i agree to a certain extent, but i also prefer imagination versus reality,
so let’s all pretend, and use our imaginations, what would you do to the country with complete freedom? or even if you could just create a small community with no rules or obligations, i guess as an "exception" of rules to the entire u.s.

I personally would follow some transcendentalist points of view, and some "hippie "morals.
You see, at 15, I’m kinda tired of society. I want to change the world, but nobody else wants to.
I’d create a place where people could be allowed to emancipate themselves from the mainstream society… most people choose to be part of said society, but in this community, it would not be forced upon. Mainstream society can often mean misery, and this community would be completely different, a place to relax, and a place to get in tact with your true self- a place to have 100 percent freedom.
There would be structure to a certain extent, but there would be a majority of freedom to do whatever, and a sense of community, where nobody was strangers, everyone got along. Happiness, peace, love and positivity would be incredibly important. Nudity, Drugs, and free love would be normal. There would be some structure, and organic coffee shops, smoke shops, and lounges with big comfy tie-dye bean bags to just ‘chill’ in, there would be domes like the ones @ "drop city", where you could buy to live in for 100 bucks yearly. Everyone would help each other out, and it’d be more like a camp campus, with a kitchen where everyone shared. and lived lifes where to give mean more than to take.

Also, do you know of any hippe communes, or communities that do exist today silghtly similar to my image of my ideal hippie community?
I guess similar to drop city but with more of a sense of community, dancing, singing, meditating, and friendships/free love, but not so farm-landish and distant?

Thanks so much for all of your imput, Peace and love, sorry this got real lengthy :l

I am 5′2", 110 lbs, 34 years old, and I eat healthy. I try to watch my carbs, and I really try hard to stay away from junk food. I woke up with a headache the other day, and my grandmother (who is diabetic) suggested to test my blood sugar. It was 127. Prior to the 127 reading, I had eaten a blueberry smoothy (from fresh blueberries, Greek yogurt, some vanilla soy milk and no sugar), but I did eat 3 taco shells (just the shells, not anything in it). I also had some organic coffee made from the Pinol grain (from Nicaragua).

After the 127 reading, I went home, had some mashed potatoes, okra, green beans, and a piece of fish. A few hours later, I had 10 saltine crackers and a glass of grapefruit juice. I took another reading about 1/2 after eating those food items, and it was a 140.

Mind you, my headache wasn’t bad, it was just a dull headache, I didn’t even take any pills for it or anything.

Before any of you comment, please be sure that I am making an appointment to see the doctor because I know he will give me the best advice, but I would like some intelligent input first. If you have something intelligent or helpful for me, please comment. I really appreciate it.

I just bought a french press. I would like to know which are some good organic coffee brands that I could brew myself. Something I can also buy online. I usually shop for coffee at trader joe’s or wholefoods. I am currently brewing weaver’s coffee.

I’m wondering what your favorite type of roast is and what you recommend for someone who is just starting to get into the grinding and brewing of coffee. As of a few days ago, I picked up some Organic Coffee co. Rainforest Blend whole bean and a grinder. I just had some of it this morning and it tasted very nice but I am wondering if there are any you think would be better or just a must have in general.
